Sección: Documentos electrónicosTítulo: 2022 Global medical trends survey reportPublicación: New York : Willis Towers Watson, 2021Descripción física: 24 p.Notas: Sumario: The 2022 Global Medical Trends Survey reveals considerable variation in healthcare cost increases around the world. With COVID-19 cases surging in different countries at different times in 2020 and 2021, the uneven trajectory of the pandemic created considerable volatility in healthcare utilization and costs. After dropping to 4.8% in 2020 and rebounding to 8.1% this year, the projected healthcare benefit cost trend is expected to continue at a similar level for 2022, at a global average of 8.1%. However, volatility is more marked at an individual country level due to the uncertainties with the ongoing effects of COVID-19, which is expected to extend into 2022. Average increases across different regions next year are expected to range from 14.2% in Latin America to 10.6% in the Middle East and Africa to 7.6% in Asia Pacific to 6.7% in Europe. The average medical trend in the U.S. is projected at 7.6% in 2022 based on other Willis Towers Watson research.Materia / lugar / evento: TendenciasEncuestasSaludCOVID-19PandemiasOtros autores: Willis Towers WatsonOtras clasificaciones: 931Derechos: In Copyright (InC)
